We have been told that the security operative, Gilbert Arinaitwe Obwana reportedly assaulted his wife Beatrice Arinaitwe and she went into coma. Beatrice, we are told that she is nursing wounds in a Kampala hospital. Obwana is the man who last year sprayed pepper spray into Col. Kiiza Besigye’s eyes.

Gilbert Arinaitwe, also used his gun’s butt to knock out the windscreen of Dr Kizza Besigye’s car window before unleashing the pepper-spray and tear gas directly on Besigye’s face and body.

Obwana’s wife collapsed as the news of her husband’s actions reached her. We are yet to know the grounds under which Obwana beat his wife. Beatrice Arinaitwe, who is a lawyer by professional is now under the supervision of her family doctor in a Kampala hospital. Efforts to get a comment from Obwana were futile by press time. But we promise we shall look for him to get the comment.

Thieves sweep former president’s home clean

Insurance companies will have to come to the rescue of the former Makerere University Guild president because we hear thugs last night swept his home in Nakasero when he was away for burial in Gulu.

When Denis Okema returned home with his family, his house was wide open with no trace of his property, save for rolls of toilet pepper.

Like he was possessed Okema rushed to neighbours and shouted ‘my house has been swept clean and all the property stolen.’

The neighbours also came and checked his house and found it empty. Okema has now reported the matter to the area police post and as usual the force is hunting for the thugs. The police are yet to nab the people who stole Okema’s property.

Car buying craze at Red Pepper

It is like every staff at the Red Pepper made buying a new car by the end of the year his/her year’s final resolution. With a month and so weeks remaining to close the year 2011, most of the workers are busy selling off their old cars and rushing to acquire new ones.

In the last two weeks alone, Red Peppers car parking in Namanve on Kampala Jinja road has seen an addition eleven cars.

The company’s editor Bob Tumwesigye has bought an Audi while Red Pepper’s crime reporter, Stanly Ndawula has bought a Mercedes Benz. Most of the cars the red pepper staff has bought is in the Toyota family.

What sounds laughable but could be true is that even some cleaners and get keepers at the Red Pepper also vow to buy cars. You see the Red Pepper Publications has a habit of guaranteeing its workers in the banks to get loan.
